<p>Hi James,</p>
<p>I am an interior designer, and my clients always wants me to suggest them new styles of stoves.</p>
<p>While searching for posts on different type of stoves i came to your post and really i loved reading about Russian stoves.</p>
<p>I am gonna analysis on this Masonry stoves, and definitely my clients gonna love these wood stoves.</p>

<p>This is what they had to say about their fireplace, "Our masonry heater is the center piece of our 2000 square foot home. Being in a central location allows the heat to radiate evenly throughout the house. Radiant heat is the most comfortable and healthy type of heat, the masonry heater is like having the sun in the center of the house. Our firebox faces the living room so we can enjoy the aesthetics of the intense and dramatic fire. We also have a bake oven that faces the kitchen for convenience."</p> Jim,

<p>From what I understand is that some Russian stoves use the bell system.<br/> I set out do something similar. My novel way of constructing (as far as I know ) was without mortar and forming the concrete building blocks myself. It made it relatively fast to build up. A spirit level was hardly used. Only for the first layer really.<br/> The simple chamber/bell system enabled me to become more flexible in the design. It was pretty cheap too.<br/> Here is the link showing a time-lapse movie of the build.<br/> I also designed my own door which I have incorporated and works great.</p>

<p>I've a radiant slab in my straw-bale home R50+ on all 6 sides. I raised the water temp going to the slab to 125 degrees and only needed to heat my home for 1 hour twice a day (just before sun-up and sun-down). This keeps my home @ 70+ degrees 24/7. FYI I live @ 8,000 ft in Colorado outside temp is -17 degrees and I'm bare foot in shorts and a tee shirt without the heat on. The point being if your radiant or masonry stove is over heating your home use less heat less often.</p>

<p>Thank you your response Jim. The radiant home I've seen often open the window to regulate the temperature inside the home. I suppose the same thing could happen with the Russian fireplaces. It would be interesting to get feedback from people that have the Russian stoves in their home.</p>
